When Vince Gilligan (the creator of Breaking Bad and co-creator of Better Call Saul) announced that he would be creating a new series for AppleTV+ starring Rhea Seehorn (the beating heart of Better Call Saul), I was beyond excited. And now that the series is here – and now that I have seen seven of […]
This review continues from part 1, which examined the themes, characters, and plot in seasons 1 and 2 of K-On!, a slice-of-life musical series. This review will examine the K-On! film, the special features, English dub, and more, within the Blu-ray collection.

As a big fan of AppleTV+’s Slow Horses, I was excited to learn that the streaming service was planning on adapting another Mick Herron book series. Unfortunately, despite two strong central performances from Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, Down Cemetery Road can’t quite live up to the high bar set by its Herron predecessor. It’s […]
K-On! is a slice-of-life series based on a manga with the same name by Japanese artist Kakifly. Kyoto Animation produced the series. It began as a thirteen-episode first season in 2009, followed by a twenty-six episode second season in 2010, various animated shorts, a few OVAs, and a 110-minute film in December 2011. K-On! follows […]
I fancy myself a bit of a foodie. I’m from Chicago – a world class city when it comes to food – and I have been lucky enough to have eaten at Michelin starred restaurants around the world. I’ve also watched every season of Bravo’s Top Chef, making sure to visit the restaurants of contestants […]
If there’s one thing The Last Frontier, the new thriller from AppleTV+ has going for it, it’s its cast. Which is absolutely stacked, not just with actors you’ll remember from big budget films – Jason Clarke, Dominic Cooper, Alfre Woodard, Johnny Knoxville – but a host of faces that will be familiar to TV fans […]
Earlier this month, ND Stevenson had an announcement. He is a writer best known for helming She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, which is an animated re-boot of the classic 1980s series She-Ra: Princess of Power, and for his webcomic (and later) graphic novel Nimona. He told interviewers from Comic Book Club that the animated adaptation of […]
Hollyoaks is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Channel 4 is planning to make this a big occasion, similar to the 20th and 25th anniversaries. Five years ago, I published an article highlighting ten of the most successful actors from the soap. For the 30th anniversary, I will look at ten more actors who have done well […]
On September 19th, Knights of Guinevere, an animated mature sci-fi psychological thriller, with body horror and macabre qualities, premiered. It dropped on the YouTube channel of Glitch Productions, an indie animation powerhouse. The pilot was co-created by Dana Terrace, John Bailey Owen, and Zach Marcus. All three worked on The Owl House. Terrace was the creator. […]
It’s almost criminal just how good Slow Horses, the AppleTV+ spy series based on Mick Herron’s novels, is. Seriously. And, after a pretty good but not great season four – which saw us traveling back into River Cartwright’s (Jack Lowden, given less than usual to do this season) family history to stop a terrorist attack […]
